Residential concrete construction has a broad range of experience and quality represented in thousands of companies across North America. Distinguishing your company from these ranks is one of the most important decisions you can make. The CFA Foundation Contractor Certification Program was established to provide measurable quality assurance to the residential construction industry. Information presented will range from concrete basics to design, construction, finishing and waterproofing, excavation, backfilling safety and code compliance. Attendees will identify the advanced principles that define companies from coast to coast for their quality and leadership while they prepare to be recognized as a Certified Foundation Technician.
Individuals not sitting for the exam are strongly encouraged to purchase the exam reference packet for use as a handout ($95 special WOC rate).

Pervious Concrete Field Project for Installer CertificationTwo-hour time slots required for executing the field project available below
Tuesday - Friday, January 18-21 10:30 am - 12:30 pm
Tuesday - Thursday, January 18-20 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm; 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Registrants taking advantage of this opportunity to demonstrate and enhance their skills as pervious concrete installers will meet one of the requirements for the pervious concrete installer. The two-hour field project will simulate the performance evaluation commonly conducted by certification entities. Project participants will demonstrate procedures for placing, compacting, finishing, edging, jointing and early curing of a pervious concrete slab. Instructors will observe and evaluate the techniques used and record “pass” or “fail” grades on the various individual procedures. Participants who “pass” the field project exercise will be issued credit for their efforts as completing one of three required construction projects for the pervious concrete installer. This two-hour “hands-on” learning activity is open to all registered WOC attendees, but credit towards certification can only be extended to those who possess a current ACI Flatwork Finisher Technician or Craftsman certification at the time of application. Please note class size is limited to six individuals per two-hour time slot. Separate registration and $350 project fee required.
